Must Have Boots for This Season

October 10, 2015

It might still be extremely hot in Dallas, but it doesn’t mean the weather wont change soon. At least, that’s what the weather channel is saying anyways. I live for fall and winter weather! Mostly because I love the fashion, shoes (boots!), layers, and scarfs.

I’ve recently been on a hunt for some great weather shoes, specifically boots. I still have some good ones that I didn’t wear too much last season, but I was definitely on the hunt for a new pair of rider and ankle booties. After some searching, and let’s face it, I was looking for a bargain, because I’ll probably just want new ones next year and didn’t feel like blowing $400 on some that I will scuff and probably break the heel on them. Trust me, this happened last year. So maddening! Here are my picks for the must-have boots:
Top 5 Boots For This Season:Sam Edlemen Louie Bootie

These Sam Edlemen booties are very on trend this season. I like fringe, but let’s be honest, some boots over do it. These booties have enough to make a subtle statement and nice heel for cuffed skinny jeans. I found these to be one of the more affordable booties on the market for only $140. You can find these brown leather online exclusive at Abercrombie.

I will have a review on these soon. I’ve worn them a few times now so I can definitely give my honest opinion on these and give you all the details with close up images.

These affordable and essential riding boots are a must-have for any casual outfit. Riding boots always seem to be in style every fall/winter season. I bought these just the other day, and I’m still waiting for them to be delivered. I’ll also have a review on these once I’ve had a few days to try them out. These G by Guess boots were only $60 at DSW with a coupon. Ladies, do a search for DSW coupons, and you’ll find some great deals out there. Also, any purchase over $35 qualifies for free shipping, and they recently introduced ship to store.

These are one of my favorite bootie/wedge combo around. It gives you a little bit of height, for us short girls, and makes it a really great go-to shoe for casual days with paired with some skinny jeans. These are only $88.95 at Nordstrom. I have seen other similar ones at other stores; I would even say Target has some. These will also make a great transition shoe for when spring rolls around.

These are unfortunately extremely hard to find in-stock at most stores that sell them. I ordered mines online and were basically overnighted when I ordered them the day before Thanksgiving last year from Neiman Marcus. These are a great pair to own for when it’s a rainy and snowy winter (which it is being predicted it will be here in DFW). They are also great for travel because the collapse and don’t take much room in your luggage. Also, they are just so classic and comfortable. They look great even when wearing dresses. At $150, they are a bargain compared to other higher-end designer rain boots.

These are unfortunately back ordered until January. However, I would highly invest in these. There are other brands out there, but these are the only ones made in America and hand make every order. Help create American jobs by purchasing these. Also, they are known for lasting for YEARS! I’ve placed my order and can’t wait to get them. Luckily “winter” in Dallas lasts basically through March, so hey, I’ll still get to use them!
